lyrics

Is that enough? To have lived so long, and by degrees, turned from the mirror and a faith so stupid and strong. Hoping that no one sees me leave. Hoping that no one turns to say, "We can see you as clear and as constant as tides in the bay." My dreams have changed from sunset clouds to coarse grey waves. I kissed that man, but he's your friend now. I was the first to look away. I was the last to tell the truth. Though it was bare in my body and bold as a golden tooth. And the next time that I'm feeling lucky I won't refuse. I'll stand by you. You changed one word. You said, "Shine on, you crazy bastard." Maybe I will, until my last loves have come and gone. Neither mistaken nor mastered. Just as close to the truth that was bare in my body and bold as a golden tooth.
